Disease relevance of Akap12

  • Our data suggest a role for the loss of SSeCKS/Gravin in the metastatic progression of human prostate cancer [1].
  • SSeCKS/Gravin expression was detected in benign human prostatic lesions and well-differentiated carcinomas but not in undifferentiated lesions with Gleason sums > or =6 [1].
  • In nude mice, SSeCKS reexpression slightly decreased primary-site tumor growth but severely decreased the formation of lung metastases [1].

Biological context of Akap12

 

Anatomical context of Akap12

  • Short-term addition of phorbol esters caused the movement of SSeCKS from plasma membrane sites to the perinucleus coincident with a loss of actin stress fibers [5].
  • These data suggest that mitogen-induced, FAK-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of SSeCKS modulates its binding to the actin-based cytoskeleton, suggesting a role for SSeCKS in mitogen-induced cytoskeletal reorganization [9].
  • In this study, we report the generation, via gene trapping in embryonic stem cells of mice carrying an insertion in the mouse SSeCKS gene [6].
  • Finally, we show that P1- but not P2-mRNA expression is abolished by the insertion and furthermore that mice homozygous for the mutation lack SSeCKS in all tissues except the male germ cells [6].
  • Ectopic expression of SSeCKS caused loss of cytoplasmic F-actin fibers in the mouse endothelial cell line LEII [10].
 

Associations of Akap12 with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of Akap12

  • This correlated with increased coprecipitation of SSeCKS with biotin-phalloidin-bound F-actin from FAK-/- compared to FAK+/+ cell lysates [9].
  • The mitogenic regulatory activity of SSeCKS is likely manifested by its ability to bind key signalling proteins such as protein kinases C and A and calmodulin, and to control actin-based cytoskeletal architecture [11].
